Let's Get Ready for Battle #2 of 2
December 3, 2009
Some believers never run life's race. They sit by the side of the road, feeling left out of what God had for them. This is a mistake. Being morose is no fun. Our attitude makes a big difference, and that's something we can change. The book of Joshua teaches us to get up and get going: there is a future, and there is a hope. Today: more lessons from a place called Gilgal.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Are you in the wilderness, spiritually? Has your vision of God dimmed? You need to stay tuned for a way out of the desert.... Before the battles in Canaan could begin, Joshua needed a fresh cleansing from God, and a fresh vision of God. Do you face tough times in the days ahead? Like Joshua, you can face them with a clean heart and a renewed sense of God's presence.

The race of life: a struggle from the beginning to the last lap. Each of us needs the word of God for strength to face the battle.... And that means meditation and study in the Scriptures each and every day. That was the first step Joshua took before conquering Canaan, and, it's how we can conquer the personal challenges God has set before us.

Any sprinter knows that getting a good jump off the starting blocks is key to winning a race. That's true in life as well......
For believers on the racetrack of life, there is no substitute for a good beginning. No matter what the task or opportunity, how we begin sets the tone for how we'll end up. And the series that begins today has one purpose: to get you started right. Stay with us.

Some think God's bottom line for the offering plate is how much money ends up there. Not so. He has another agenda...
God's desire is that our giving be cheerful, not driven by a sense that we're in trouble if we don't give. He wants our hearts first, and only then our open pocketbooks. Today, we wrap up a series on giving with Paul's admonition to the church at Corinth.

Farmers know it's really pretty simple: no seeds, no plants. No plants, no vegetables. No vegetables, no harvest.
They know all about the laws of sowing and reaping, laws God set in motion a long time ago. Those laws work in agriculture, and they also apply to financial giving. Today, we'll explore what Paul wrote about this to the church at Corinth. Please stay with us.

Some might see putting money in the offering plate a one-way trip to nowhere. "I had ten dollars, now I don't..."
Jesus told a parable exploding this myth once and for all. The bottom line: money given to transform the lives of others bears a thousand-percent return-on-investment. That's because the real bank is in heaven, not downtown. Today: more lessons from Luke 16.

Wise money managers know the term ROI: return on investment - the bottom line when putting cash at risk...
Christians have bank accounts on earth, but also, accounts in heaven. They lay up treasures "where moth and rust do not corrupt." Today, we'll learn why the long-term view is best: investments in things eternal bear a return we cannot even imagine.

Ever feel manipulated when a preacher says "God is watching" as the offering plate goes by? Some people have...
Fact is, though, He is watching. Jesus was in the Temple courtyard, watching as the rich made sure the crowds saw them give. Then, He peered intently at a poor widow who dropped her last two mites in the treasury. The object lesson was clear.

It's always big news when a wealthy benefactor drops a few million on a college or pays for a new hospital wing...
But no one seems to notice a poor person giving a quarter to someone else in need. That is, no one but Jesus, whose keen eye watched a lady entering the temple courts one day in Jerusalem. Could you ever be commended by God for giving, like this woman, all you have?

An old proverb says "many hands make light work." In the church, everyone has a part in meeting financial needs.
In the book of Exodus, we read of the building of God's tabernacle. There's great detail on everyone's contribution, both of time and treasure, to make the project a success. When we see giving as an act of worship, we cease focusing on the money and begin focusing on God.
